Thank you!

Next question (please bear with me): Has anyone thought of making
libcomplete suggest binaries when there's a match? It's more trivial to look
in /bin then to parse $PATH the way bash is doing. On the other hand the
semantics need to be thought of right -- does it show executable files when
none of the local files match? does it put preference on executables than
files in the current dir (when no partial match exists) and so on?

Maybe it isn't worth it and just typing /bin before hitting Ins is the way
to go?

Lastly: what would it take to make libcomplete work in directories served by
things like ftpfs, dossrv (9fat:) or 9fs (9fs sources)?
